The metabolic research group in the department of biochemistry consists of teams headed by Guido Bommer, Maria Veiga-Da-Cunha and Emile Van Schaftingen. We are part of the de Duve Institute at the Université Catholique de Louvain.
We aim to discover novel biochemical mechanisms involved in human diseases. We are convinced that a thorough understanding of these mechanisms is a prerequisite for the development of novel therapies in cancer and beyond.
In our work we use a wide array of methods in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and mass spectrometry. While most of our research is strongly hypothesis-driven, we are open to serendipitous discoveries that sometimes lead us far from areas of our expertise.
